Unlike VB, there is no Date Formatting function in ASP. You could us LCID or do it manually. I do it manually.. e.g

myDate = now
 
        dd=day(myDate)
    mm=month(myDate)
    'mn=MonthName(mm)
    yy=year(myDate)
 
 
    response.write mm & "/" & dd & "/" & yy

hey danial

i figured out how to do it so much easier than u did

check this out

Session.LCID = 3016

each country has a different 4 digit representation which determines the date format.

i placed it in 'Sub Session_OnStart' since that loads when every session is started or in easier terms when a user opens the webpage
